Why Rematch

For the morning after.

  • The first step out of bed.
  • Stiff hands on the steering wheel.
  • The knee that talks back on the stairs.

Rub it in. Feel the cool, then the warm. Be back out there tomorrow.

  • 01

    Feel it in seconds.

    Menthol cools on contact. Camphor warms in behind it. It is a plant balm, not an alcohol gel.

  • 02

    Real-strength actives.

    Camphor 6.5% and menthol 1.75%, the FDA monograph actives, printed right on the front of the jar.

  • 03

    A clean base for every day.

    Shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, hemp seed oil and castor oil, made with organic oils. No petroleum, no dyes, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrance.

  • 04

    Handmade for 12 years.

    Cole Stegman has made and refined this formula for 12 years. Every jar is still poured by hand in small batches in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Real relief. Real ingredients. A fair price.

For the temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, sprains.

  1. 01

    Cool on contact.

    Menthol meets skin and the first thing you feel is a clean, deep cool. Thirty seconds, maybe less.

  2. 02

    Warm underneath.

    Camphor follows with a slow, even warmth that settles into the knee, the hand, the elbow.

  3. 03

    Back out there tomorrow.

    Three to four times a day, as directed. Then the alarm goes off, and you go play.

What it feels like

Cool.Warm.Back out there.

Menthol is the first thing you feel, a clean cool on the skin. Camphor follows with a slow, even warmth. Then the alarm goes off and you go play.

Who it is for

Made for the second half.

  • Pickleball

    Four games before breakfast and the knees know it.

  • Golf

    The back nine, and the back after it.

  • Gardens

    Two hours on your knees in the beds, worth every tomato.

  • Grandkids

    Floor time, piggybacks, and the lift into the car seat.

Rematch is for the minor aches and pains of muscles and joints that come with doing the things you love. It is not a treatment for a condition. If pain is new, severe, or getting worse, see your doctor.

Made by a player who needs it too.

Twelve years. One formula. Poured by hand.
